Re: Your first Eagle...
University of Maryland course - Par 5, 511 yards.
I bombed a driver off the tee that just cleared the front of the hill on the fairway giving me about 20 extra yards. I was about 190 yards from the pin and hit a 5 iron 12 feet past the hole. I had a tricky downhill eagle putt. A buddy of mine told me "He'd let me pick up now and take my par to save the embarrassment of a 3-putt". I thought - [censored] this, I'm making the putt, and I trickled the quick putt in.
It was a nice feeling.
